A perfect day for a cookie~

You ever have one of those weekends full of plans but then all of a sudden everything is canceled???

The weather was not cooperating this weekend. So in midst of thinking it was going to be {busy}...it ended up quite slow! So I was reading a few blogs and this BLOG posted a wonderful recipe for pumpkin cookies. She passed them out and put cute tags on them. She is VERY creative!

Since I didn't have much to do and I had all the ingredients...I made them! My cookies were gone before I could put them on a plate let alone make a tag for them!

They were wonderful!
